Man accused of planting pipe bombs before Jan. 6 Capitol attack is charged with explosives offenses

A man arrested by the FBI in its investigation into who placed pipe bombs in Washington before the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol has been charged with explosives offenses. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday identified the man as Brian Cole Jr., of Woodbridge, Virginia. Authorities have entered Cole’s home. Calls to family members of Cole listed in public records haven’t been returned. The pipe bombs were placed on Jan. 5, 2021, near the offices of the Democratic and Republican national committees. Nobody was hurt before the bombs were rendered safe, but the FBI says both devices could have been lethal.

US-Russia talks on Ukraine were 'constructive' but work remains, Putin adviser says

Talks between Russia and the U.S. on ending the nearly four-year war in Ukraine were constructive, but much work remains. Yuri Ushakov, a senior adviser to President Vladimir Putin, spoke to reporters on Wednesday after a lengthy session at the Kremlin. Putin met U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner as part of a renewed push by the Trump administration to broker a peace deal. Both sides agreed not to disclose the substance of the talks. Putin’s aide says that “so far, a compromise hasn’t been found” on the issue of territories, without which, he said, the Kremlin sees “no resolution to the crisis.”
